"Political Football" nails it IMO.

Except that this is unemployment insurance benefits we're talking here DJ.

It's now a program. Do you think the long term benefits will go away if unemployment goes down to 4%?

Anyone think the House will pass it?

Or whether Boner will even let it come to the floor?

I suspect that you're self employed like me DJ. Have you ever went through the unemployment mill? It's a bit of a trudge sending out resumes and getting interviewed by some young feckin' punk who doesn't want to hire anyone over fifty. Yeah, it takes a while. So what?

I'll leave that 4% figure for the fantasy it is. We aren't anywhere near it and I doubt that we ever will be. Is everything welfare to you guys?
